DECIDING TO SELL YOUR DEALERSHIP OR

THINKING OF ADDING TO YOUR PORTFOLIO?

In today’s ever-changing market, the dealership consolidation model has been a growing trend which results in ample opportunity to either expand or sell. The competition within the industry has never been more intense and the retail auto sector has changed substantially from when dealers first started.

Many dealers do not have a succession plan or an exit strategy, and the considerable capital required to own a franchised dealership has increased. Then there is continued demands for facility upgrades, EV upgrades, and who knows “what else” upgrades. Additionally, we are now entering a period of uncertainty.
